About the Item

Urban Landscape "Hamms Brewery Blue" Building in San Francisco Oil on Canvas 1981 Bold Urban landscape featuring the TMG redesigned of the former Hamm's Brewery building by William (Bill) Jefferson (American, B-1956). Currently a New York artist. Image, 55"H x 42.5"W x 2.5"D After graduating from college ( BA in history), I moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in the arts. Again, I never stopped. San Francisco in the ‘70’s was a magical place, and was the perfect canvas for me. I began drawing, all of the time, everywhere. By 1980 I had begun translating my drawings into paintings. By the time I moved to New York in 2007, my art had matured and my purpose was clear: I mean for my paintings to give the viewer a sense of calm, and wonder at the beauty of the world around us, and to serve as an antidote to the pain and suffering we all experience in life. William Jefferson has been working and painting in San Francisco since 1971. Since 1988 he has focused on urban landscape, painting in oil, and ceramic. His many commercial jobs over the years, mainly in window and interior design, are in oil, acrylic and ceramic tile and have sharpened his sense of material, and increase his appreciation of inherent properties of his two primary mediums. After doing a series of urban rain-scapes during the 1990’s and working from his own photographs, Bill has come to concentrate on the reflections found in windows, cars, and revolving glass doors. Bill has found a favorite technique; usually using a zoom lens to compress depth and increase the level of reflective distortion. exhibition: 2018 Ashok Jain Gallery ,Lower East Side, New York, USA

"Pueblos"
By Henry Baker
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Henry Hudson Baker (1900 - 1957) Henry Baker, an Ivy League graduate from Yale University, was born in Dunkirk, New York, in 1900. Baker was one of New Hope's important modernist painters as well as a talented musician residing in the area from 1932-1950. After graduating from Yale, Baker studied at the Art Students League in New York and upon the suggestion of his close friend, artist Ralston Crawford, he came to Merion, Pennsylvania, to study at the Barnes Foundation. While there, Baker befriended Edith Wood, a student from the Pennsylvania Academy. Miss Wood, familiar with the New Hope art colony and its charming surroundings, thought it might appeal to Baker. It did, and soon after his arrival to New Hope in 1932, Baker purchased and restored a beautiful old colonial home. Two years prior to Baker's arrival, a break had occurred between impressionist and modernist painters. His first participation with the New Hope artists...
